A pitching matchup of Kyle Gibson versus Danny Duffy may induce yawns. But it could lead to a sneaky Under play espcially in the first game back for the Twins and Royals following the four-day All-Star break.

Gibson doesn't get much respect, but he's been very good on the road with a 2.84 away ERA. Opposing batters are hitting only .197 against him on the road. The Under is 13-4-1 in Gibson's past 18 away starts. Gibson has a 3.22 career ERA versus the Royals in 16 starts.

Gibson won't face an easier offense as the Royals are last in the league in runs and homers.

Duffy has been terrible for much of the year - until recently. He has surrendered only one earned run in four of his last five starts. Duffy has a strong history, too, against the Twins with a 5-1 record and 2.27 ERA in 19 appearances, including 15 starts. Duffy has a 0.75 ERA in two starts against Minnesota this season.

The Twins have a below average offense ranking 22nd in homers and 18th in batting average.

The weather conditions are calling for 7-to-9 mph winds blowing in.
